Cold regions engineering: climatic warming concerns for Alaska / David C. Esch, Thomas E. Osterkamp.
Title: | Cold regions engineering: climatic warming concerns for Alaska / David C. Esch, Thomas E. Osterkamp. |
Author(s): | Esch, David C. Osterkamp, Thomas E. |
Date: | 1990. |
In: | Journal of Cold Regions Engineering. (1990.), Vol. 4(1) (1990) |
Abstract: | Observations from experimental highway sites on North Slope, which have continued for 20 years, show permafrost warming at 9 m depth. These and other data justify engineers designing for these latitudes in using estimated air temperature warming of 1°C per decade until more refined forecasts become available. |
Notes: | Journal of Cold Regions Engineering. Vol. 4(1) :6-14 (1990). |
